    Well done the Panzer.

    Closer than everyone thought.

    My fantasy team had Martin, Froome & Kwia. I am a very happy boy.

    I am not a very happy boy.

    If Wiggo was here - that other renowned doper - he'd be another 40 secs up at least on Froome...

    Contador nearly 4 minutes down. What a loser.

    What about this 'form of my life' crap.

    Try telling that to the kit man who has to wash Cav's skinsuit.

    Martin couldn't believe what he just saw from Froome.
    He couldn't believe that the rider who came one place behind him at the 2011 Vuelta TT and one place behind him at the Olympics came one place behind him again?

    So the whole of the rest of this Tour is going to be "who's going to come second"?

    PAH.

    Oh poor Andy Schleck. I do feel for him.

    Imagine if Froome focused solely on TT and put some weight on.

    9. COSTA Rui Alberto MOVISTAR TEAM + 05' 37''
    10. PÉRAUD Jean-Christophe AG2R LA MONDIALE + 05' 39''

    To be fair the whole of that top 10 could work together against Froome with their respective teams which could make things interesting but honestly speaking I dont think anyone of them could pull it off. Froome just looks so strong he would be able to bridge any attack.

    "What about this 'form of my life' crap."

    Form of his post doping life perhaps? All of these former greats who are suddenly useless, to me it's pretty obvious why...

    They'd hardly be the first formerly great rider to become at best average...

    There you go, Boardman saying the wind had a lot of effect as it had whipped up over the 4 hours, and Martin saying he was in pain last night.

    Froome is lucky he lifted the gas to keep a shred of credibility.

    As it is he is putting a very bad image out for the sport and ruining cycling fans globally new found belief in clean racing.

    I would have felt so sorry for Martin if he hadn`t won a pan flat TT. THere would have been repercussions for Froome.

    Froome even had more headwind then him and still placed within 11 secs.

    3.5mins from 1st to 2nd
    2mins from 9th to 10th.
    After 1 MTF and 1 30km TT.

    DEUX VITESSES.

    Total idiotic sh1te. He didn't lift off and this 'credibility' thing, you're just sour cos your favourite rider is failing like he deserves.

    Oh come on, the record has stuck again. How well do you manage a 25mile TT when you're in pain, assuming you've ever bothered ? I certainly haven't. That's as polite as I can make it. I'm sure you'll flamed far worse than that by many others

    Still a long way back. 31st with 21 minutes between him and Froome.

    The interview afterwards was gold "I just told him it wasn't very respectful"
    "In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

    Someone on here is so biased and anti-sky it makes them come across as thick as pig sh1t to everyone here who has a brain.
